This new ending theme will be a collaboration project between some of the absolute best there is, so expectations are high.
A preview screenshot from the new ending animation has also been revealed, this one showing Liko and Nyarote in cute poses. Make sure to check out the new episode on the 11th to learn what kind of ending theme this is going to be.
A comment from Minori Suzuki, the voice of Liko:
The experiences at Orange Academy have made Liko grow as a person, as well as made her stronger. She's no longer the same girl she was back in episode 1; Now she's been losing herself in battle and have learned things that go beyond simply winning and losing. This goes for Roy and Dot as well; I'm sure they're capable of overcoming any hurdle now! The new chapter Rayquaza Rising is one surprise after another, and these surprises will no doubt be accompanied by a never-ending sense of excitement; I once again truly feel that what makes the Pokémon anime so appealing is that both adults and children can get invested in it and become fired up! So let's go, everyone! It's time to set off on a new adventure with the Rising Volt Tacklers!
A comment from Yuka Terasaki, the voice of Roy:
The Terastal Debut arc had Liko and Roy complete their Terastal training and gave them some valuable experiences. Now, the new chapter "Rayquaza Rising" features a new beginning, where we'll finally get to learn more about Terapagos and Rakua, the main focal points of their story. I think it might even have an episode that will bring Roy a lot closer to his goal of getting Rayquaza.
This series still has a lot of mysteries to it: The Terastal Debut arc felt like it really changed the way Roy battles, so now that it's over, will he be able to get the Black Rayquaza the next time they battle? What is Rakua? What is Rakulium, or the "Eternal Blessing" as they call it? What's the deal with Lucius and the Six Heroes? I think the answer to a lot of these will be revealed in this chapter, so look forward to it!
A comment from Yoshino Aoyama, the voice of Dot:
Now that Liko, Roy and Dot have all completed their Terastal training and bonded further with their partners, it's finally time for the Rising Volt Tacklers to continue their adventure towards the Six Heroes and Rakua! This time they will finally be faced with the truth behind the mysteries that have been presented thus far. I hope you'll keep watching so that you'll see with your own eyes how Liko and the others will react and what they'll do afterwards.
As long as they're together, they'll surely make it there in the end! Oh, and if you look at the poster, you'll see that Dot's Kanuchan has somehow...?! Well, don't miss out on THAT! Please look forward to the new chapter Rayquaza Rising!
